In the past I have had the "yes keep my session active" option like this create an image object within JavaScript and then set the source attribute to a ColdFusion page that served up a blank image (not that it mattered since it was never displayed anywhere. This can also be used to ping the server and have data passed back in a cookie that the JS can read, a sort of "poor-man's AJAX" before AJAX was even a term). There are certain instances in a content management system where you may want to automatically keep the session alive longer without prompting the user, and the same method applies in the background. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
